Chapter 84 The Corpses in the Room
"This is barely enough."
Qin Yuhai fiddled with the shovel for a moment, then gave up on finding a larger shovel and carefully started digging with a small one.
The corner wasn't made of cement, and I don't know what material it was made of.
Qin Yuhai casually dug it open with a small shovel.
The soil in this area is very soft and damp, with a musty smell, and it can be easily dug up.
After digging for a few minutes, the slightly harder soil inside fell down like lumps of powder.
Soon, a grayish-brown object appeared.
"it is this?"
Qin Yuhai glanced at the coal briquette.
"Meow~"
This is the thing, it stinks!
Coal Ball wanted to cover its nose, but considering it had just scratched the corner of the wall, it could only take several steps back and jump onto the bed.
He wiped his paws with the bed sheet.
Qin Yuhai dug a few more times, deciding to just dig it out with his hands.
Discarding the small shovel, Qin Yuhai grabbed the object and pulled it outwards.
After arguing for a while, they actually pulled out a jar.
"It's a jar."
This jar probably only holds a few liters, and it's wrapped in a plastic bag.
Qin Yuhai carried the jar out to the balcony.
The light here is bright, making it easier to see clearly.
He tore open the plastic bag on the jar and opened the lid.
A foul stench instantly filled the air.
"yue!"
Cats have a naturally keen sense of smell.
The coal briquettes, upon smelling the odor, immediately began to gag.
It stinks so bad, it's making my head spin.
Qin Yuhai looked closely and noticed the foul smell inside, like rotten meat mixed with rotten vegetables.
He looked inside and seemed to see bones.
"has a problem!"
Unable to bear it any longer, Qin Yuhai stood up and took a few steps back.
He took off his gloves, then his cumbersome coat, and pulled a mask out of his inside pocket and put it on.
Fully armed, Qin Yuhai said, "I'm going to take the contents of the jar out and see what's inside."
“Meow~!”
Stay away from me!
"If you don't like the smell, stay away from it, so you don't get bothered by the stench later." Qin Yuhai seemed to understand what Coal Ball was saying and muttered a few words to himself.
He then lifted the jar and placed it on the table.
"Crash..."
Foul-smelling water mixed with some dark red and yellow liquid flowed out.
The water inside is immiscible and has separated into layers.
Suppressing his nausea, Qin Yuhai emptied all the water from the jar.
He took out the curled-up remains of an infant from inside.
It doesn't look very big.
It must have died shortly after birth.
After placing the body on the table, Qin Yuhai examined it and frowned, saying, "This child has become a corpse; he has probably been dead for quite some time."
He took off his gloves and immediately made a phone call to inform Lin Yang and the others.
Immediately afterwards, he returned to the corner.
He lowered his head and looked inside.
Qin Yuhai discovered that there were several more jars inside.
After changing into a new pair of gloves, Qin Yuhai forced himself to endure the nausea and dug out the jars one by one.
Chen Jia's apartment was on the side.
That's why there's that hidden compartment in the corner.
It was just the right thing to use to cover up the crime.
He dug up all the soil.
Disliking the slow pace, it frantically started digging with its hands again.
Ignoring his image, Qin Yuhai dug a large hole in the cave in front of him.
"Damn, there are quite a lot."
With no outsiders present, Qin Yuhai started swearing.
He reached inside and took out the jars one by one.
One, two, three...
He carried out more than a dozen jars and filled the entire balcony.
"Depend on!"
With a low curse, Qin Yuhai tore off the plastic film from the jars one by one.
The opening is now quite large.
Over there, Coal Ball jumped off the bed and crawled inside.
"Meow meow meow~"
Cat meows could be heard coming from inside.
Qin Yuhai quickly went over again: "What did you find this time?"
"Meow~"
Come and see!
Qin Yuhai waited for a long time until the coal ball came out and rolled its eyes at him.
He thought for a moment, then poked his head into the hole.
There was a red box in the corner.
The box looked like it was made of mahogany and must have been there for a long time. The patterns on it were somewhat faded, and it had an unpleasant damp smell.
"What is this?"
Qin Yuhai reached in as he spoke.
His arms were long, and he reached inside to touch the lock on the box.
Pulling the box open, Qin Yuhai frowned: "This Chen Jia is indeed not simple. What's inside this box?"
As he spoke, Qin Yuhai planned to pry the box open with a wire.
"Meow!"
What are you doing, touching this?!
A sharp, piercing meow rang out from Coal Ball.
It slapped Qin Yuhai's hand with its paw, its green eyes fixed on him.
"You won't let me touch you?"
Qin Yuhai thought for a moment and immediately understood what the coal ball meant.
Coal Ball nodded to the cat, its gaze fixed on the jar over there.
"Let's look at the jars first."
Qin Yuhai tossed the box aside and opened all the jars.
These dozen or so jars, of varying sizes and shapes, all emitted a foul stench.
After emptying the water, Qin Yuhai dug out the body of a baby from the new jar.
This baby should be seven or eight months old. It's already formed, but not particularly big, and the umbilical cord is still attached to its belly.
It looked like it was cut open while still alive, as if it was premature.
"Absolutely disgusting!"
Qin Yuhai muttered a couple of curses and then opened the next jar.
This jar is different from all the other jars.
The jar was a bit larger than the others, and it was not only sealed with two layers of plastic bags, but also had a yellow talisman pasted on the mouth of the jar.
The talisman was covered with incomprehensible symbols that made one's heart race at the mere sight of it, like some kind of curse.
Qin Yuhai unconsciously reached out towards the jar, intending to uncover the yellow talisman and take a look.
"Meow!"
Just then, Coal Ball jumped up and slapped Qin Yuhai across the face: "Meow!"
Wake up! Don't be fooled!
Qin Yuhai received a solid sinus puncture.
He instantly snapped back to reality: "What just happened to me?"
His gaze fell on the yellow talisman, and he understood: "This thing can bewitch people, can it? Looks like I have to be careful."
After thinking for a moment, he put the plastic bag back on.
Just then, a cold wind blew by.
A dark figure rushed towards Qin Yuhai...
